A cleat in construction refers to a small, typically wooden, metal, or plastic, wedge-shaped device used to secure, fasten, or support various components in construction projects. Cleats are designed to provide stability and support, ensuring that structures remain secure and durable.
A bracket acts simultaneously outward, along the horizontal or top edge, and downward along the wall that supports the vertical.
A bolt is a type of fastener, usually made from metal, that commonly comprises a head at one end, a chamfer at the other, and a shaft characterised by an external helical ridge known as a 'thread'. Bolts are typically used to hold materials or objects together, or to position objects.
